  5. I have not demonstrated this...but may I remind those of you reading, that this is the general rule, taken straight from the introduction thread..Some of this stuff is a "work-in-progress" and the trend identification method that the arch's provide is valuable.



    This is a 24hr. method. It generally, does not trade the beginning of each month, until the first Friday has passed. This is when many news reports are new & the NFP comes out. The volatility leading up to and during the National Farm Payroll report (NFP) can be surprising & the method can use more leverage, when abstaining from trading, during that time. I find that I can bank more money trading the 3 wks. with higher leverage, than trading all mo. with lower leverage.

    and this....

    This method will hold trades 2-28 days. It will interpret a direction, using a med-term daily trend indicator (showing a direction that can last as long as 1 yr). This method defines direction & then works its way down to entry.

    look..I have never claimed to be a great trader. I do not follow my rules which are signs of my weaknesses. I do not take losses when the daily arch tells me NO....I believe in them too much AS LONG AS I HAVE ENTERED THEM EARLY ENOUGH.

  6. So I guess NFP is next Friday?

  7. ES, Du bist ein grosser Schweinefettkopf, today we have the Sesspoole at 7:00, cad gdp at 8:30, sentiment at 10:00, and finally the "T'arhepiti T'ipijchukua" will give us his rendition of "cry me a river" at 11:00. Oh by the way, figure out a stop. Next Fri NPF. Oh just to remind you that you need a hard technical stop for your arch.

  8. I cannot figure out a stop because my entry does not have enough precision.

    I am considering to take a break...to gain perspective.

    By the way I got out of the EUR/HUF...but added more EUR/JPY...

    - 3k in unrealized DD... plus 1k in profits... ....1 month of trading `started with 14k of equity

  9. TV and all..

    I am thinking of trading the innerbands with blue line entries and the outer bands (+38.2 and -38.2) of the inner band would be the stops and targets..I would take the statistics with 80% or better with the Virgins...timeframe would not matter....trade size would be 100 dollar trades to begin with...

    What do you folks think...want to try with me?

    Definetly "adding to a trade" and "no stops" is not what I want to trade...it does not fit me like a good shoe...Else the trade is right or its wrong...move on and trade the edge....I believe in the Arch's and there should be a better than 50% winrate which is what many of you like...the profit factor is unknown as this is highly discretionary...

    I would start a new thread and call it the Arch Experiment...

    ES

    P.S. I am imagining a timeframe profile to evaluate each trade with, that lists 15, 30, 60, 4 hr & Daily periodicities with their innerband statistics and current arch direction. I would search for blue line entries with the best agreement within the arches and high statistics...

    P.P.S. the trade size will be self adjusting as the initial target differs with the ATR ...the arches figure this out...no ATR or DeMarker Indicator is needed. The Initial target could be 100 bucks...per 10K of equity, but it would adjust as the arch clicks forward.... The stop or the target would take the trade out...
